Upgradin' "the Gridiron"... as if it needed it!

Fellas,
New, fun and useful features are comin' to "the Gridiron", the best damn FF message board on the net.  Expect a flurry of them in the coming days, weeks and months. Some things are front-end, some are behind-the-scenes.
If you haven't already noticed, a nice new modification adding advanced IM features and a "BuddyList" has already been added. If you just visit your IM's page, you will see the improved features, like "check boxes" for deleting particular messages and a storage area. To experience/utilize all of them be sure to click on "BuddyList" in the main menu atop every page and "Preferences" on your IM page.
Guys, also note, PLEASE be understanding that this thread is NOT a suggestions thread. As stated above, A TON of COOL stuff, things I am adding based on suggestions made heretofore and my own judgment, will be comin' atchya's. Sit back, relax and enjoy! I think you will like IT ALL! Hell, this IM thing should keep ya's busy for a day.  When I get to a lull, I will let you all know. I mean I always want input, BUT, trust me, I ALREADY have gotten A LOT of feedback and I already have (put) enough on my plate, and, moreover, many of it is back-end stuff that you guys will never even be aware of. I just don't want this to turn into a "Wouldn't it be cool if we could do this?", "Is there any way you could add that?" thread, when I'm already bustin' ass, probably trying to get to many of the things being mentioned (yet again). That can get very discouraging as it makes me feel like (I am being treated like) a slave. In summary, this is to just act as a heads-up thread (and, perhaps, a place to give Steg here some love ), not a "let's pile it on the 'poor' (in both senses of the word) rat-bast" thread.
In any event, I just hope you guys are enjoying everything. That's JOB #1 for me!  Be in touch! I am...
...Your Friend in Fantasy Football,
Steve Stegeman a.k.a. StegRock 8)
P.S. (By the way, if you received any "Internal Server Error" messages over the past 16 or so hours, it was NOT the "old" problem resurfacing; it was me working on the upgrades.)

Just this moring I went to send you and bgsgfan an IM and I had to open another window to search for each of your official user names... a major P.I.T.A. (pain in the ass)! The Buddy List feature will save me that step and make IMing more user friendly... thanks bro! |

Pure gratitude... It's worth a million of these  . Thanks, WB, ... and DD, despite the occasional potshots, and Philly, despite the subliminal request.

Ah yes...I am an equal opportunity potshotter. There was a message somewhere on the board today mentioning spell check....it took all my will not to mention Dolfan.
However, I do appreciate the potshots thrown back my way.
But seriously...thanks for all the hardwork. Hard to believe that this place can be any better. You are a genius at work.

"Ye speak and it shall be done!"
"FantasyFootballer.com's Gridirion Chatroom" has arrived. Enjoy it and use it well, boyz!    
I've worked it hard enough!  Time for Steggie to go to bed...   But first, for those who keep up with things (in "the Bleachers" sticky thread), check out how it went with the wifey-poo at the Embassy!    ... 
(Scroll to the bottom of the forum "index"/"front" page for the chatroom!)

As if you needed MORE reason to hang out at FantasyFootballer.com and "the Gridiron",... don't miss out on the PHAT game room that I just added tonight, a Friday night no less,... perfect! I DEFINITELY see some MAJOR "Gridiron" battles of (etymological) wits goin' down on that virtual Scrabble board (brought to you by another great site, Internetstitute.com )... Bring it on, Phil!

What? 
The chatroom was one of the biggest additions, but there is another big one on its way. I just got over one hump regarding it today. It will give us another opportunity to let those competitive juices of ours flow.
